Outage Probability Conjecture for TIMO channels

About 9 years old · traced to

Let P>0P>0, let f(q1,q2)f(q_1,q_2) denote the outage-probability expression obtained for a two-transmit-antenna, rr-receive-antenna channel with nonnegative powers q1,q2q_1,q_2, and define

D={(q1,q2)∈[0,P]2∣q1+q2=P}.\mathcal{D}=\{(q_1,q_2)\in[0,P]^2\mid q_1+q_2=P\}.

Outage Probability Conjecture for TIMO. The pairs (q1,q2)(q_1,q_2) minimizing f(q1,q2)f(q_1,q_2) over D\mathcal{D} belong to

{(P,0),(P2,P2),(0,P)}.\left\{(P,0),\left(\frac{P}{2},\frac{P}{2}\right),(0,P)\right\}.

This is the two-transmit-antenna specialization of the general outage probability conjecture. The paper presents a counterexample in its TIMO analysis, so the stated conjecture is refuted.
